07-13-07. What!!! You mean I can't smoke out here! What's a peacock to do, if he can't smoke in the zoo? This is ridiculous.

I watched this peacock for about 20 minutes today. He would jump up on a railing, then stare straight at this sign. He would move his head back and forth while he studied it. Then he would rare back and peck at it. Then he would jump down off the railing, circle around, and then repeat the whole process. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I have a few more pictures that show him actually pecking the sign, but I liked this one better because it actually looks like he is reading it.
